Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term view of the TL2509 variety is "oscillation", the medium - term view is "oscillation", the intraday view is "oscillation with a weak bias", and the overall view is "oscillation" due to the decreased possibility of a comprehensive interest rate cut and the rising risk appetite in the stock market [1] - For the main varieties (TL, T, TF, TS) in the financial futures stock index sector, the intraday view is "oscillation with a weak bias", the medium - term view is "oscillation", and the overall reference view is "oscillation". In the short term, the upward momentum of treasury bond futures is insufficient because the possibility of a comprehensive interest rate cut is low, the central bank focuses on implementing existing policies and provides structural easing for consumer and technology - related enterprises, and the rising risk appetite in the stock market weakens the demand for treasury bonds. However, the anchoring effect of policy interest rates limits the upward space of market interest rates, so the downward space of treasury bond futures is also limited [5] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - For the TL2509 variety, the short - term is "oscillation", the medium - term is "oscillation", the intraday is "oscillation with a weak bias", and the view reference is "oscillation". The core logic is the decreased possibility of a comprehensive interest rate cut and the rising risk appetite in the stock market [1] Main Variety Price Market Driving Logic - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - The varieties include TL, T, TF, TS. The intraday view is "oscillation with a weak bias", the medium - term view is "oscillation", and the reference view is "oscillation". The core logic is that last Friday, treasury bond futures oscillated narrowly. In the short term, the low possibility of a comprehensive interest rate cut, the central bank's focus on existing policies and structural easing for specific enterprises, and the rising risk appetite in the stock market lead to insufficient upward momentum of treasury bond futures. But the anchoring effect of policy interest rates limits the upward space of market interest rates, so the downward space of treasury bond futures is also limited [5]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report suggests that the rebar 2510 contract is expected to continue its oscillatory bottom - seeking trend. It advises to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line, with the core logic being the accumulation of industrial contradictions that put downward pressure on steel prices [2][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Content 3.1 Variety View Reference - For the rebar 2510 contract, the short - term view is oscillatory and weak, the medium - term view is oscillatory, and the intraday view is also oscillatory and weak. It is recommended to focus on the pressure at the MA5 line, and the core logic is the accumulation of industrial contradictions leading to downward pressure on steel prices [2]. 3.2 Market Driving Logic - Over the weekend, steel spot prices declined slightly with average trading volume. Rebar production has risen to a new high for the year, increasing supply pressure. Although rebar demand has improved, the improvement's sustainability is questionable as the downstream situation has not improved. In the current situation of increasing supply and demand, industrial contradictions continue to accumulate, inventory is rising, and steel prices are under pressure. The relatively positive factors are cost increases and expectations of peak - season demand. The report expects rebar to continue its oscillatory bottom - seeking trend and advises to monitor demand performance [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - For coke, the "anti-involution" theme of coking coal has seen no new drivers recently. The coking coal market has entered the actual supply verification stage, with market divergence between bulls and bears. The cost support for coke has weakened, leading to the range-bound operation of the futures main contract. Considering the medium- and long-term impact of the "anti-involution" policy, there may still be new positive factors on the supply side in the future, and the callback space for coke in this round is expected to be limited [4][32]. - For coking coal, the total inventory of coking coal within the statistical scope this week is 23.3207 million tons, a week-on-week increase of 162,600 tons. Coal mines and ports have increased their inventories, while coke enterprises and steel mills have reduced their inventories, indicating an increase in downstream wait-and-see sentiment and a decline in procurement enthusiasm. At present, the positive factors on the coking coal supply side have been partially realized. Before there are new drivers for the "anti-involution" theme, the coking coal futures are expected to maintain range-bound operation. Considering the medium- and long-term impact of the "anti-involution" theme, the callback space for coking coal in this round may be relatively limited [4][32]. Summary by Sections Industry News - The National Mine Safety Administration issued a notice on implementing the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations," which will come into effect on February 1, 2026 [6]. - On August 29, the price of coking coal in the Linfen Anze market remained stable, with the ex-factory price of low-sulfur main coking coal concentrate (A9, S0.5, V20, G85) being 1,470 yuan/ton including tax [7]. Spot Market - For coke, the ex-warehouse price of quasi-primary coke at Rizhao Port is 1,570 yuan/ton, a week-on-week increase of 3.29%, a month-on-month increase of 10.56%, and a year-on-year decrease of 7.10%. The ex-warehouse price of quasi-primary coke at Qingdao Port is 1,480 yuan/ton, a week-on-week increase of 0.68%, a month-on-month increase of 5.71%, and a year-on-year decrease of 8.64% [8]. - For coking coal, the price of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port is 1,180 yuan/ton, a week-on-week decrease of 0.84%, a month-on-month increase of 2.61%, and a year-on-year decrease of 16.01%. The price of Australian coking coal at Jingtang Port is 1,580 yuan/ton, a week-on-week increase of 3.27%, a month-on-month increase of 6.04%, and a year-on-year decrease of 7.60%. The price of Shanxi coking coal at Jingtang Port is 1,630 yuan/ton, with no week-on-week change, a month-on-month decrease of 1.21%, and a year-on-year increase of 6.54% [8]. Futures Market - The closing price of the coke futures active contract is 1,643.0 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.87%. The highest price is 1,680.0 yuan/ton, the lowest price is 1,635.0 yuan/ton, the trading volume is 22,608 lots, a decrease of 4,754 lots, and the open interest is 43,440 lots, an increase of 1,739 lots [12]. - The closing price of the coking coal futures active contract is 1,151.0 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.13%. The highest price is 1,180.5 yuan/ton, the lowest price is 1,139.5 yuan/ton, the trading volume is 1,398,041 lots, a decrease of 48,937 lots, and the open interest is 738,966 lots, a decrease of 2,121 lots [12]. Related Charts - The report provides various charts related to coke and coking coal inventories, including those of independent coking plants, ports, and steel mills, as well as charts on domestic steel mill production, Shanghai terminal thread and screw purchases, wash coal plant production, and coking plant operation [13][24][30]. 后市研判 - The analysis and expectations for coke and coking coal are the same as the core viewpoints, with coke expected to have limited callback space and coking coal expected to maintain range-bound operation considering the "anti-involution" policy and inventory changes [32].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2) Core View of the Report - This week, the domestic energy and chemical commodity sector showed a trend of rising first and then falling, with a weak downward movement. The cost support for energy and chemical commodities weakened due to the decline of domestic and international crude oil futures prices. Additionally, the supply - demand structure in the downstream of the energy and chemical industry was weak, and there was still pressure for inventory accumulation. Some products like fuel oil, styrene, ethylene glycol, polypropylene, and PVC maintained the inventory accumulation trend, while asphalt, PTA, and plastics maintained the de - stocking rhythm. Overall, after the previous macro - positive factors were gradually digested, the energy and chemical commodities shifted to a market dominated by their own supply - demand fundamentals [4]. 3) Summary by Related Catalog Energy and Chemical Commodity Market General Situation - The domestic energy and chemical commodity sector had a weak downward trend this week, influenced by the decline of crude oil prices and weak downstream supply - demand [4].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2) Core View of the Report - The supply and demand sides of iron ore have both weakened. Steel mills' production is slowing down, and the terminal consumption of ore has declined from its peak. With short - term production restrictions and shrinking steel mill profits, ore demand is expected to decline. The previous main logic supporting the iron ore price has changed. The arrival of ore at domestic ports has decreased again, and overseas miners' shipments have also declined from their peak. However, according to shipping schedules, the arrival volume from Australia and Brazil will increase, and the overseas ore supply will remain high, while the domestic ore supply is relatively limited, showing a stable operation. Overall, the resilience of ore demand provides support for the price, but the positive effect is weakening due to shrinking steel mill profits and production restrictions. The supply is stable at a high level, and the fundamentals of iron ore have not changed much. It is expected that the high - valued iron ore price will continue to fluctuate, and the performance of steel prices should be monitored [1]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Inventory - 45 - port iron ore inventory is 13,763.02, a decrease of 82.18 compared to the previous week, an increase of 105.12 compared to the end of last month, and a decrease of 1,609.36 compared to the same period [2]. - 247 - steel mill import ore inventory is 9,007.19, a decrease of 58.28 compared to the previous week, a decrease of 4.90 compared to the end of last month, and an increase of 10.72 compared to the same period [2]. Supply - 45 - port iron ore arrival volume is 2,393.30, a decrease of 83.30 compared to the previous week, an increase of 152.80 compared to the end of last month, and a decrease of 173.60 compared to the same period [2]. - Global 19 - port iron ore shipment volume is 3,315.80, a decrease of 90.80 compared to the previous week, an increase of 114.90 compared to the end of last month, and an increase of 94.70 compared to the same period [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core View of the Report - The fundamentals of rebar have not improved under the situation of both supply and demand increasing, with continuous inventory growth and accumulated industrial contradictions. Steel prices continue to be under pressure. Against the backdrop of the cost increase and the expectation of peak - season demand, rebar is expected to continue the trend of oscillating to find the bottom, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Supply - Rebar weekly production increased by 59100 tons week - on - week to a high for the year, due to the resumption of production of construction steel mills and the return of production transfer. The blast furnace capacity utilization rate was 90.02%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.23 percentage points [1] Demand - Rebar weekly apparent demand increased by 94100 tons week - on - week, but the high - frequency daily transactions remained sluggish. Both were at a low level in the same period in recent years, and the improvement space of demand was questionable [1][2] Inventory - Rebar total inventory was 6.2339 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 163500 tons; factory inventory was 1.6962 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 49100 tons; social inventory was 4.5377 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 212600 tons [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - Since mid - August, the spot and futures prices of rebar have weakened again, and the futures price has dropped significantly. The market is under the influence of multiple negative factors, and under the pattern of weak supply and demand, the rebar price is under pressure, but the cost increase may limit the downside space. It is expected that the steel price will show a trend of bottom - seeking through oscillation, and the performance of peak - season demand should be focused on [2][4] Summary According to Related Content Price Performance - Since mid - August, the futures price of the rebar main contract has dropped from 3,274 yuan/ton to a minimum of 3,097 yuan/ton, with a cumulative decline of nearly 5.4%. The spot price in the East China mainstream area has dropped by 80 - 110 yuan/ton during the same period, and the basis has strengthened [2] Market Negative Factors - Market sentiment has changed, the "anti - involution" trading logic has cooled down, and the previously leading varieties have started high - level adjustments. The black industry chain is restricted by its weak fundamentals, and the overall upward momentum is insufficient. The near - month rebar contracts are suppressed by the delivery logic, and the long - position willingness to take delivery is low [2] Inventory Situation - As of the week of August 22, the total rebar inventory was 6.0704 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 198,500 tons, and it has accumulated for four consecutive weeks. The inventory sales ratio is 3.116, reaching a high in recent years. The inventory in some major consumption areas has accumulated rapidly and is higher than that of the same period last year [3] Production Status - The weekly output of rebar is 214,650 tons, which has declined for two consecutive weeks, with a cumulative decrease of 65,300 tons. The reduction mainly comes from long - process steel mills. Currently, long - process steel mills are in good profit condition, and short - process steel mills have not significantly reduced production. The average capacity utilization rate of 90 independent electric arc furnace steel mills is 75.69%, still at a high level this year [3] Demand Performance - As of the week of August 22, the weekly apparent demand for rebar was 194,800 tons, remaining at a low level in recent years. The cement outbound volume and concrete shipment volume are also at low levels, with year - on - year decreases of 16.5% and 7.8% respectively. The real - estate market is still in weak recovery, and the basis strengthening may lead to profit - taking, which will increase demand - side pressure [4]
